PS3 Slim + HDMI-CEC

[sn3rd]

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the DSTV, TV and Multimedia section, but...

I was under the impression that my newly bought PS3 Slim only supported Bravia Sync.

But last night I decided to give Samsung Anynet on my B530 a go... It works!

1) In PS3's XMB, go to Settings -> System Settings -> Turn "Control for HDMI" on
2) In TV menu, Playstation 3 appears in the Anynet device menu

Alternatively, you could press "Tools" on the TV remote, and access Anynet settings from there.

From what I've read, this is a new feature in the PS3 Slim. Can anyone confirm if it's possible with the old PS3 Phat?

Doesn't appear on my phatty Got the Anynet button on my remote though.

i guess it works for everything HDMI and not only bravia tvs. on a side note, did you get an english instruction manual with your slim? i only got french, deutch, nederlands, spanish. i can read and comprehend quite a bit of the nederlands but it is a freakin chore. an english manual would have been nice. i saw you also get the manual online - maybe that'll make life easier.

Only on Slims due to Bravia controls. Not on Phatty at all.

Very happy

Well done, There so much to ^gain^ and appreciate from the PS3 slim that you do not know where to begin, its in a class of its own and None other can even begin to touch it.

What models are your ps3 slims? Mine's the CECH-2004A, bought it today at reggies, all seems 100%, but also didn't get an english manual, and if you google it it doesnt come up with any english websites, on the CECH-2000A is in english... that's strange! why would some places sell a different model to other stores? I cant even find out if one is a later one?
